[BangPypers] SPOJ : PALIN problem ...

[Kishor Bhat]

Hi Nikhil,

10 ^ 6 is the maximum number of digits, not the maximum number.

In this solution, you're going to start from K and increment by one,
checking at each stage whether ' n == rev(n)', which is a linear
operation.

Ultimately, this solution will be O(n ^ 2).

A better approach might be to modify the input number directly (by
manipulating the digits).

Also, the extra parentheses around the second raw_input() is not
necessary, but causes no errors.

Regards,
Kishor Bhat
